Sprinkles has been around since 2005 and even though I don't have a sweet tooth like others, I do enjoy their cupcakes from time to time. This visit, however, I didn't indulge. I ordered four cupcakes and gave them away to my friends with the stipulation that they provide me a review of their experience.
THE FOODS | Cupcakes, cookies, brownies, and cakes. Here's what my friends had to say...
- Vanilla Milk Chocolate | Andrea: "The cupcake top does not have a rich chocolaty flavor (not enough cocoa). The cupcake base is a moist, buttery vanilla cake." Since my friend is a chocolate connoisseur, it's likely she would not get this cupcake again.
- Vanilla | Richard: "Cupcake base has a moist texture with a robust vanilla flavor. The cupcake frosting is sugary, smooth, and silky." I observed my friend as he smiled the entire time while enjoying his sweet treat. I think it's safe to say that he would order this cupcake again.
- Red Velvet | Kathy: "The red velvet has a chocolatey flavor. The cupcake frosting is a thick & rich cream cheese layer; I could just lick it all off. The only part I do not like is the button candy on top." This particular friend generally likes red velvet and has a self-proclaimed tagline, "this girl can eat," so I'm quite sure she would order this again.
- Sprinkle | Derek: "Crunchy nonpareils; contrasts well with the creamy sweet frost. The confetti cake is not overly sweet and serves as a fun vessel to transport the frosting into your mouth." I asked if he would order this again and his response was, "it would be on my list, but not my first choice."
THE SPRINKLES FEELS | It's a small shop with a couple of kiosks to order and stacked trays full of cupcakes on a display. If you're kiosk impaired, employees are there to help. There are no seating areas inside, but there is one around the corner outside. The vibe is modern.
THE PARKING SITUATION | Ridiculous. Good luck finding a parking spot in front of Sprinkles. You have a better chance finding a spot further out, but even that is questionable, especially during lunch hours when the town seems to converge into this popular area.
THE ORDERING LOGISTICS | Order at the kiosk and wait while they pack your order into a cute cupcake holder box.
WOULD I COME BACK? | Yes, because there are several cupcakes to choose from and I haven't tried everything yet. Local bakeries offer speciality flavors for a limited time and I recommend signing up online to receive those notifications via email or text.
